Arizona sports betting apps and retail sportsbooks paid $1,609,580 in wagering taxes in February, down from the $2,886,501 paid in January.

Jackie Johnson, the director of the Arizona Department of Gaming, credited the increase in sports betting handle during the month to Arizona’s hosting of Super Bowl LVII and the 2023 Waste Management Phoenix Open.

In February, sports fans from Kansas City, Philadelphia, and attendees of the TPC Scottsdale event showed a strong interest in sports.

Johnson highlighted in a press release that the state saw a significant rise in sports betting activity in the second month of 2023, with over $117 million more in wagers than February of the previous year. This increase in betting was credited to the robust event wagering market, particularly bets made on Super Bowl LVII in Arizona.
